Watch Dogs and Assassin’s creed is 2 out of the 3.

P_Bomb1571d ago

That pirate game might be the third. Skull&Bones, was it?

Axonometri1571d ago

Ubisoft wants to talk about their games... meanwhile The Bid M and S are staring each other down in the dusty street in front of the saloon. Fingers twitching and sweat rolling into their eyes.

Crueltylizer1571d ago (Edited 1571d ago )

Gods and Monsters, Rainbow Six Quarantine, Skull and Bones and Watch Dogs: Legion.

TheOptimist1571d ago

All will be crap. They haven't made a decent game since R6S

addictedtochaos1571d ago

Gods and Monsters looks promising, but otherwise, you are correct.

RazzerRedux1570d ago

I've enjoyed AC: Origins, Odyssey, Watch Dogs 2, and Far Cry 5 since R6S came out.

Ah.....opinions.

TheOptimist1570d ago

All of them having the same template, bad writing, generic gameplay and shit optimization.

Yes, if you like that, sure. They aren't bad because each individual game is bad. They are just a blob of mediocrity repeated over and over again which is what makes them bad.

RazzerRedux1570d ago (Edited 1570d ago )

Well....I like the template so I guess that answers that question, huh? As far as writing....come on. Decent writing in video games isn't exactly common, but it is good enough. Game play is fine for the most part. The optimization isn't good, I'll grant you.

But yeah, I enjoyed the games, flaws and all. Every game doesn't have to be spectacular to be enjoyable. You have an absolute and narrow view on games, I think. Either it is great or it is crap. I don't think I could play video games if I had that outlook, frankly. Sounds miserable.

TheOptimist1570d ago

I mean, if devs cant write decently, thgen might as well not put the story in the game? Follow John Carmack's quote of "Story in a game is like story in a porn".... It's when game devs try to "eMoTiOnAlLy" impact me by shoehorning plot points is when I feel, meh.

As for your second argument, yes every game does not need to be spectacular and I don't have a narrow lens is why I don't play these games. I play clunky games galore from Elex to Technomancer and enjoy them because they try to be something different without the budget that a company like Ubisoft has. I don't really care if a game is mediocre unless that mediocrity is repeated without any extra effort put in.

And I have such a wide variety of games that I like- Hollow Knight, Divinity Original Sin, Witcher 3, Doom, Deus Ex etc. So many genres, I can't run out of games that focus on a certain aspect rather than create a pale imitation of what they are inspired from.

RazzerRedux1570d ago (Edited 1570d ago )

I find the story and writing in most games serviceable. Comparing it to porn writing is just silly, but that sounds like something Carmack would say.

"I play clunky games galore from Elex to Technomancer and enjoy them because they try to be something different without the budget that a company like Ubisoft has. "

Cool. So we both like games others have despised. Like I said originally. Opinions.

Hey Ubisoft, where the hell is Splinter Cell eh? We didn't see a Splinter Cell game this gen. Are you thinking of ways to monetize SplinterCell?

RosweeSon1570d ago

XDefiant dev promises fix to frustrating hit reg issues, though players remain skeptical

Mark Rubin, XDefiant’s executive producer, responded to an X/Twitter post that fixes to hit reg “are something [they] are working on.” Unfortunately, it’s unclear when it will arrive, as neither Rubin nor the development team have yet to provide an actual time frame.

just_looken1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Ha man what is this the 8th time they are working on this issue?

SO the game is using division one maps/assets with some divison 2 thrown in with that we can say they never really made the maps so what have they been doing for there 6 to perhaps 8 years of dev time? must be alot of hookers/blow/parties.

Notellin16h ago

It's astounding how much money they blow and this is the results. Gaming development is out of control.

just_looken6h ago

Right even when ubisoft cancelled division heartland as a beta player that game was a far better state then they push with this trash of a game that is still in a beta state after 3 years of delay's.

we are so starved of any decent fps/3rd person shooters out there it seems we will take anything even though some ps2 fps games were more fun then this game in my old opinion.

FPS_D3TH15h ago

Skeptical because it was an issue with ALL the betas and still hasn’t been fixed

just_looken6h ago

Its like they are using division one servers but they caught fire then were put together with barry/carols help from the janitors wing or some shit. Three years they still can not make it so the gun goes boom the guy gets hit then damage is applied.

Neil Druckmann clarifies true intent of new Naughty Dog game comments

Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.

just_looken1d 5h ago

He can take dog shit put it in a oven with seasoning then call it waistland cookies the sony fans will pay $40 a cookie give them a medal of cooking.

No mater what trash this sobs puts out/talks about it will sell.

The true fact in the 8 years sense uncharted 4 his first time in the main seat to a point all this "amazing" team did was get 2 dudes to fuck in a van then destroy a franchise they never created.

But being a port studio they are decent at they should keep in there lane at being just that a glorified port studio.

fr0sty1d 4h ago

Salty Bots... gotta love it.

just_looken1d 3h ago

@frosty

Over what? naught dog under his command is a glorified port team tlou2 was mostly tlou 1 asset's with the same game play loop but forced a trans down your throat.

I would gladly help pay for this blight and his team to get removed from gaming in general.

fr0sty1d ago

Seeing a LGBT person exist in a work of fiction isn't "forcing them down your throat". Nobody is forcing you to play it. Nobody is forcing you to agree with it. If you think that just seeing a LGBT person exist is "force", it sounds like they make you very uncomfortable, and maybe you need to be doing some serious reflecting on exactly why... looks to me like you're suppressing something with all that fear.

just_looken23h ago

@fro

When i think of the last of us i think of a group of survivors crossing the apocalypse wasteland with a growing bond between 2 people that end up with Joel making ellie his new daughter.

Then you fire up the 2nd one bang joel is dead oh that comic series? bang dead

Oh you want to continue all that we grew in the first one? na f that toss it in the trash

Now here is a trans woman so strong superboy would blush go out there kill all what made tlou1 then halfway get a forced sex scene that you can not skip between 2 dudes.

The gameplay? just like the first game the combat/backpack system crafting sytem? 0 changes/improvements.

I could go on but lets face it they copy pasted that tlou 1 assets bin a shit ton of times.

There is nothing on the box or the ads or anything before the game that said you would going to spend most of the game controlling a new trans character that has no ties to anything of the first game the only existence was to kill what the first game made.

Oh but hey there is a mp mode coming out before 2022 wait what is that? oh we made it its own game then cancelled it now go but the game again as we port it a few times.

What has Straley or Henig released since they left ND? Not a thing! stop scapegoating! Which of them is credited with co-writing a majorly successful show?

just_looken21h ago

@mkis007

You bring up Bruce Straley really? someone that gave us 4 generations of amazing games and was there in the creation of 4 legendary franchises but was tossed in the trash for the pos niel druckmann not 7? years ago

So yeah in those 7? years you right all he has done is get 2 awards one is a game award for a puzzle game he made oh boy right like for fuck sake's all niel has done is one game that was a overhyped fan boy orgasm underneath all that ps jizz was just a typical 5/10 game.

Then you drag Amy Hennig that poor woman was also kicked out then became this century's Brendan Fraser with her sexual misconduct information coming out.

We all know how horrible people are treated behind the scenes she might have been sexual attacked groped or something.

So yeah all she did after was battlefield hardline forspoken now that new marvel 1945 game but hey Brendan Fraser was a great actor till he also said he was sexually attacked just now he is allowed back in no doubt she also had to take a leave of absence out and or was forced out on ice.

Man there are way to many out there that look at niel at the new gaming jesus when all he had done is some work on uncharted 4 then tlou2

Oh also the tvhshow? for real all they did was use stuff from the 2013 game its like saying GOT was a 10/10 but never watching past season 3

-Foxtrot18h ago

@mkis007

That's highly unfair to them both

Amy Hennig got messed around working on projects that got cancelled by the publishers (EA) and then ended up on a awful game (Forspoken) where you had 4 other writers working on it which is just a recipe for disaster. She is now working on Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Not her fault she was pushed out of NaughtyDog, something both Nolan North and Richard McGonagle have both said in interviews.

Bruce Straley left after burn out, the rest of the story we don't know and will never know just like what happened with Amy Hennig. He decided to take a break and wasn't sure if he wanted to come back to gaming however he had an idea he wanted to make so he founded Wildflower Interactive, a smaller studio where they are currently working on a new game.

@the obvious stain of a commenter

The trans character wasn't Abby. Try playing Part 2 instead of gatekeeping what you think Part 1 was about and meant.

Maybe try watching the show while you're at it, because you're terribly off with your opinion on that too

MajorLazer14h ago

Naughty Dog is better than all the MS studios put together.

derek14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

@just he has been behind 2 of the greatest games ever made. Tlou2 was easily the best non-vr game made last gen. Losers just can't get over Joel's death, mixed with the usual console war nonsense. The fact that you so casually call him a sob shows how deranged some gamers have become about Drunkmann.

derek14h ago

@frosty, for people like Just, including anyone that can be categorized as being a minority in any kind of media is "forcing it down his throat " lol. I to don't care for poor "checking box" inclusion for inclusion sake but that was not the case with tlou2.

fr0sty13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

The pathetic part about it is, you can tell just_looken never even played TLOU, because that was the game where Ellie's sexuality was first brought to light... No "that was forced down our throats" to be said about that.

Only terrified folks in the closet that use their hatred as cover from outing themselves fear LGBT people that much. They exist. They will exist in all aspects of life, including popular media. Get over it.

just_looken6h ago

@all

Once again you drag out something like its a big win

Here is my old channel a clip of me playing TLOU on ps3
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Search my channel for more clips

Proof its my channel? look at this profiles banner that is 7yrs old then look at other vids on that channel like my bf3 clips to see my psn id. But knowing this group that is way to much work.

Also elle being a lesbian is another trump card? one dlc is all we got of that a dlc that took over a year to be tossed out.

Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.

No need to bow down, Stan your ground. The AI comments were gross though.

Pretty excited as I read these. I just cant wait to see what ND is up to.

Next they need a diverse couple, and perhaps some climate activists

I would love that if only to piss off all the lunatics. Lol
